Patient Reviews
Sep 18, 2024
I have read several unfavorable reviews concerning Dr. Tjarksen’s demeanor being unacceptable. This has NOT been my experience whatsoever. Dr. Tjarksen has always been extremely professional in my presence. Beyond that, he has always been generous with his time and extremely thorough and detailed in his explanations concerning my lumbar issues. While it could be accurately said: that he is TO THE POINT and perhaps very MATTER OF FACT to use common phrases. I much prefer that from my treating physician, especially a surgeon. I want to hear it LIKE IT IS. I highly recommend Dr. Tjarksen to anyone who is experiencing spine issues. He has done wonders for me.
